I have only been looking for local trips that I can make via car. I have also been trying to figure out a way that we can travel via bike once we arrive at our vacation destination. I have been doing this by finding accommodations equidistant from the locations we are looking to visit once we arrive.  

I learned that the synthetic hydrofluorocarbons used as refrigerants is a terrible greenhouse gas that is leaked into the atmosphere and is causing increasing temperatures on Earth. There are natural refrigerants that could be used in place of the synthetics but it would take a massive overhaul to make this change and it is currently not...

I think it can be difficult to get organizations to change how things have always been done. Especially when those things are convenient.

Meat is expensive to raise and even thought it is considered a nutrient rich food it is environmentally damaging especially at large scales. Meat also has cultural and societal significance as expensive meats are considered status symbols in many societies. Because of this more wealthy countries spend more time and resources in producing meat...

I have always used led bulbs wherever possible and so has my family - my dad has always swore by them mainly because they aren't glass so when they break it isn't as dangerous and they don't get as hot.
